Of course this really depends on where the noodles are in your layers. I've seen some recipes that have the noodles only on the bottom and middle ... in which case I wouldn't completely cook any of the noodles.
And you really can make the dish without boiling the lasagna at all, provided there is enough moisture in your other ingredients. I only flash boil them to make assembling the dish easier - it's hard and annoying when they're still dry.
I hope this made more sense and didn't sound snarky. Who knew it would be so hard to describe a lasagna making technique?  Also, I don't think I've ever typed the word "noodle" so many times in one day. |
No this is really good advice. Not snarky at all. I am just a beginner, but I want to learn! I love making people happy with food- so I want to know how to make the best food... Thanks for all the help!
